Mine was $345. That included the readylift kit (about $220) and the labor. Then I paid about $50 for the alignment.

where do you live? a 4 wheel alignment is 100 around here and labor is anywhere between 75-90 an hour.

Approximately 2 hours labor @ $75-$90 per hour, plust the cost of an alignment at approximately $80. In round numbers, $250 - $300, plus the cost of the kit, is a fair estimate.

From what the guy at the shop told me, if you are puting on a leveling kit you do not need to do the alignment. he stated that you are not touching anything with the alignment, im sure i will do it anyway but thats just what he said,and he's extremely knowledgable,,any1 else know?

I'm in NY, it was $140 for me, 1hr for each side, at 70 bucks each. No alignment needed, it stayed in spec. (2" spacers on 06 dodge dakota) The spacers cost me $85. Best thing I ever did to my pickup. rides like stock, sits straight.

I was advised by the offroad shop that did the installation to get an alignment after the leveling keys were installed. The truck seemed to ride fine and did not pull at all. I am glad I did though because the allignment technician said that I was way out of specs. I think it is a good thing to do so that you do not ruin an expensive set of front tires.

Tuff Country Leveling Kit (parts) and all labor to install, paid $225 for everything in Minnesota. Did NOT require an alignment.

This is from the Tuff Country web site FAQ's.

3. Will I need an front end alignment after installing a suspension system? Yes, to insure proper tire wear, it is alway recommended that a front end alignment is done after installation of any lift kit.
